How long, how long will I slide Separate my side I don't I don't believe it's bad Slittin' my throat. It's all I ever I heard your voice through a photograph I thought it up and brought up the past Once you know you can never go back. I've got to take it on the otherside Centuries are what it meant to me A cemetery where I married a thief Stranger things could never change my mind I've got to take it on the otherside Take it on the otherside Take it on. Slittin' my throat It's all I ever Pour my life into a paper cup The ashtray's full and I'm spillin' my guts. She wants to know am I still a slut I've got to take it on the otherside A scarlet starlet and she's in my bed A candidate for a soul mate bled Push the trigger and pull the thread I've got to take it on the otherside Take it on the otherside. I don't believe it's bad Slittin' my throat It's all I ever Turn me on, take me for a hard ride Burn me out, leave me on the otherside I yell and tell it that.
